Everything is hit and miss. Flea and Farmers market have proved a bit win for some I know and others a loss. Go out and give it a try, it's really the only wany you will know. And it will take sometime for folks to know you're therre and to come looking for you, so try to really give it a run.

I dislike the being locked in but one of my staff likes doing airbrush tattoos at a flea market.

Thanks, yea I will try it out. The good thing for the flea market is that they don't do a lock in, instead you come at a specific time and pay $20 for a table or 30/40 for an outdoor space, so no lease attached. I'll be working on my boards this weekend to be ready the following weekend. I do go to this flea market occasionally and there's always kids there, plus it is always a large crowd. So hoping it works for a while.

I believe markets work, if we are consistently there. When I plan to be away from my Monday market, I call and ask another, very talented painter (WhooHooooo! Shout out to Angela Albright!) if she can make the market. Happy Painting!

I tried one of the large Mom to Mom sales a couple months ago and it was not worth my time... after the $40 business table fee I might have made $40 max... lots of people are looking for cheap bargains... but every event is different and I know some people do farmer's markets very frequently.
